Hi Nick

Apple's iSync is still not perfect but is something that gives you
an idea of what a PC-Keitai integration should be.

I still do not understand why is so difficult to find a phone with
a nice sync application with a PC. I really see this feature as
a Must that should be included in every phone and OS.

I use Bluetooth over Mac Os X and Win XP and Apple software
is hugely better integrated than anything on Windows

Jim Hughes on mobitopia.com :

" in my experience (backed by the many Mobitopians and
Mobitopia readers I've recently asked) 99% of the problems
with Bluetooth are in using it with PCs (and predominantly
with Microsoft Windows). I wonder if this is this why Microsoft
are still shipping a so called Smartphone that doesn't
have  Bluetooth?"

Cheers

Giovanni
